Ikorodu City has bolstered its squad with the acquisition of striker Balogun from Enyimba, a nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League champion. The 24-year-old forward has put pen to paper on a one-year contract with his new club.
Balogun’s experience is expected to be a significant asset for Ikorodu City this season. During his five-year tenure with Enyimba, he scored 14 goals in 105 appearances for the Aba-based team. His time with the People’s Elephant has equipped him with the skills and knowledge to make a meaningful contribution to his new team.
Enyimba, one of the most successful clubs in Nigerian football history, has a reputation for producing talented players who go on to excel in the sport. Balogun’s departure from the club marks a new chapter in his career, and he will be looking to make a positive impact at Ikorodu City.
Ikorodu City is set to face Barau FC in a matchday four encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan on Sunday. The upcoming match will provide an opportunity for Balogun to make his debut for his new club and demonstrate his capabilities. With the addition of Balogun to their squad, Ikorodu City will be looking to improve their performance in the league and make a strong push for a top finish.
The Nigeria Premier Football League has been gaining popularity in recent years, with several clubs investing heavily in their squads to compete at the highest level. The acquisition of Balogun by Ikorodu City is a testament to the club’s ambition and commitment to success. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Balogun adapts to his new surroundings and contributes to his team’s success.
